Glad to help.

Coursera Plus has an all you can eat for a yearly fee.
"Coursera Plus lets you pay an annual subscription to access the majority of the courses on Coursera. While subscribed to Coursera Plus, you can take as many courses as you'd like. There is no limit to courses you can enroll in or Course Certificates you can earn."


"For-credit content, like Degree and MasterTrack courses, and some Professional Certificates are not included in Coursera Plus."

Bummer, Google is included but I was looking for the IBM courses but they have a long list that looks like mostly everything that is included. Gotta keep shopping

Hey, thanks for the info...
Coursera, Edx, Futurelearn, Udacity, are the ones I highly recommend if you're going for any type of certificate, credential, degree from Bachelors to Masters.  Khan Academy, Udemy (if you get a coupon), Youtube crash courses, are great freebie options for learning as well.

I think just going the regular route with Coursera is perfect for me, I don't think I'll need the Plus option just yet.

Included/excluded from Plus: https://learner.coursera.help/hc/en-us/articles/360036151932

The one I'm really interested in is the ICS2 which is excluded from the Plus program, so that is why I think just the regular option is good for me.  The ICS2 SSCP (Systems Security Certified Professional) is pretty awesome as it's the cheapest ICS2 cert exam available for $250 USD. Further to that, it has 3 ACE credits recommendation for Systems Security - Here's the link: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/sscp-training

I completed some edx and futurelearn, do I submit the completed ones through ACE to see if TESU accepts the credits?


RE: Cousera Google offers $150 to complete IT Support Cert - lacussucceed - 02-29-2020

Or ask TESU with a reference to the ACE description.

Is it possible to finish this program for free during the 7 day trial?


RE: Cousera Google offers $150 to complete IT Support Cert - CarpeDiem8 - 02-29-2020

No, the terms and conditions prevent you from receiving the prepaid card from Google if you complete it within the trial of seven days. However, you could complete it within the first month for $49 and still get the 150 back. There also appears to be a referral deal that Coursera has and it doesn’t appear to conflict with the terms and conditions of the deal.


RE: Cousera Google offers $150 to complete IT Support Cert - lacussucceed - 02-29-2020

I mean the ACE credit, not the $150 prepaid visa card.

I also don't see the $49 option...
